Atkins Dangers?

x-no-archive: yes

Hi LCers,

A friend told me she saw a program yesterday that said the Atkins company
has filed for bankruptcy (okay, I found an article on this) and also that
the show said people have been "going into shock and dropping dead" from
this. I think this was some sort of slam, as I haven't been able to find
ANYTHING on this. Did anyone happen to hear of such a thing?

Thanks,

P.T.

You mean they didn't have film on the news where you live of all the
Atkins dieters dead on the pavement in NYC?

I heard the Atkins diet also caused that plane crash up in Toronto today.

Damned diet. :-)

You forgot to mention the stock market!

Dropping dead from what? Atkins' bankruptcy? Or a low-carb lifestyle?

You know what I heard? I heard people are dropping dead from OBESITY.
That's what I heard.

FREAK

Damn, my underground water pipes broke in my backyard today, and
nightmare that I'm living right now because of it, I hadn't thought to
connect the two. Thanks for the heads up. ;-)

The part about bankruptcy or the part about people going into shock and
dropping dead upon hearing the news about the bankruptcy?

I doubt that anyone is in danger from Atkins, after all, he is dead.

Of course, if you are haunted by a very fat ghost, it means that I might
be wrong.

Technically, Atkins wasn't fat when he died. He was bloated from
ascites.

Well, I read the part about bankruptcy for myself, but this person has been
putting down the diet ever since I have been on it (beside the fact that I
have lost weight and she is fat and smokes).

I know there's a sidebar in the book about the overweight coworker who
will sabotage you.

Did anyone see "SuperSize Me". There's this scene where they are
talking to a guy in an office (I forget his name or credential) and he
tells a story about a dinner in a restaurant where one of his friend
lights up a ciggy, and someone else chides them pretty harshly about
the dangers of smoking, to the point where the smoker hems & haws about
quitting and puts the cig out. At the same table, our speaker is
amazed, is a tremendously fat person who orders (I think) some
ridiculously fatty, carby, and large plate, Our speaker is further
amazed when the arbiter of health doesn't chide this person and suggest
that s/he is killing themselves. Made me feel bad for smokers (nasty
habit that I can't abide, but imagine everyone around you allowed to
comment on the unhealthy thing you're doing... nightmare, though it's
even worse with coworkers/classmates an LC, when you're doing something
right and they feel the license to criticize. sigh. If it were easy,
everyone would be able to do it).

Hollywood, rambling on.

LOL, I know. I just wanted to use the word "ascites." Learned that one
last month.

They're dropping dead when they hear the news of the bankruptcy? I'll
miss my Quick Quisine low-carb blueberry muffin mix, but I don't think
it will kill me.

This was a long time ago, but several of us were sitting around a
table talking. One of the ladies just found out she was pregnant and
shared that info with the rest of us.

Her friend sitting next to her shouted out in horror, "You're
*pregnant* and you're still *smoking*?!?!?"

Her much quieter reply, "You're fat and you're still eating?"

August Goals: Keep BGLs in normal range; Not hungry, don't eat

Measurements: 9 inches gone 06/19/2005
Cholesterol: 145
FBG: <110 since 07/01/2005 A1c 6.8! Ack!

Well I'm impressed. :-)

Yes, us Lowcarbers have accepted that for all the benefits of the low
carb diet, we have a one in three chance of just "dropping dead", but it
is a risk we are willing to take. Join us!
